Tattoos and other body mods

Carl-E:
I think they're called gauges?  The name comes from the sizing system, also used for wire and a few other things. 

And upon checking, they're also called flesh tunnels, which sounds creepy. 

ackblom12:
Yeah, tunnels (technically the proper term is eyelets) are things like this:



Plugs are solid, like this:



Gauges is definitely a common slang term for plugs and eyelets, but it's a term that's not well thought of by a lot of the community.

Method of Madness:
Randomly thought a nerdy idea for a tattoo (but not one I'd ever get). The tattoo would be 127.0.0.1 and it would be on the chest. "Home is where the heart is", after all.

ChaoSera:
Thanks for the correction.
Back to my question though. What's the appeal of gauges? What exactly do you like about them?
Obviously my viewpoint is biased with me not liking how they look, but I'd still like to understand why one chose to get that particular body mod.

MoM: I like that one. Another idea (with less deeper meaning) I was thinking about for a long time is 101010 - the binary code for 42.

Method of Madness:
I still want a dire wolf tattoo with "winter is coming". That'll probably be my first one.
